conclusions our findings indicate that resistance of c. albicans strains to azoles is more common in tokat, turkey. therefore, a strategy to control the inappropriate and widespread use of antifungal drugs is urgently needed. fungal culturing and antifungal susceptibility testing will be useful in patient management as well as resistance surveillance. materials and methods a total of 201 c. alb...

BACKGROUND Study of in vivo antifungal activity of the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) and n-BuOH extract (BUTE) of Sapindus saponaria against azole-susceptible and -resistant human vaginal Candida spp. METHODS The in vitro antifungal activity of HE, BUTE, fluconazole (FLU), and itraconazole (ITRA) was determined by the broth microdilution method. We obtained values of minimal inhibitory concentr...

The Potential of Purple Leaves Ethanol Extract (Graptophyllum pictum L.) against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. This study is an experimental with a comparative approach, aimed at analyzing the potential purple leaves by using in vitro method clear zone was formed between outer sides paper disc containing ethanolic extract S. column. gold C. albicans colonies are growth indicators....

antimicrobial activity of different culture extract of oudemansiella sp grown on liquid medium (mygp) were tested. different fungi (c. albicans, c. lipolytica, saccharomyces cervisiea, cladosporium herbarum, and aspergillus niger) and bacteria (microccocus luteus, e. coli, staphylococcus aureus, and staphylococcus epidermidis) were used as test organisms. various antimicrobial assay methods inc...

Candida is the fourth most common organism responsible for bloodstream infections in many intensive care units, with Candida albicans being the most predominant species isolated in such cases. It has previously been shown that candidal phospholipase B, encoded by the PLB1 gene, is an important virulence factor for C. albicans pathogenesis. In this study, the effects of environmental factors (ca...

results the minimal inhibitory concentration (mics) values of myrtus communis leaves extract ranged 0.625-5.0 µg/µl and 5-40 µg/µl against tested candida spp. and aspergillus spp., respectively. conclusions results revealed that the ethanolic extract of myrtus communis leaves have antifungal potency against both pathogenic tested fungi, and it can be used as a natural antifungal agent. material...

The adherence of three Candida species to human buccal epithelial cells (BEC) following treatment with different concentrations of date extract was investigated in vitro, as well as the effect of a mouth rinse with date extract on the adhesion of yeast to BEC. Adhesion of C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. kefyr to BEC was significantly reduced after both short- and long-term periods of yeast ex...

background: the leaves of eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus) are used for treatment of diabetes mellitus in traditional medicine. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of eucalyptus in treatment of established systemic infection with candida albicans in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. methods: sixty normoglycemic male wistar rats, weighing 200-250 g, were selected and...

Background and Purpose: Annually affecting millions of women, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is commonly described by signs and symptoms of vulvovaginal inflammation in the presence of Candida species. Today, the detection of the virulence factors plays a major role in the understanding of pathogenesis of candidiasis and helps produce new anticandidial drugs to improve its treatment efficiency....

An antigen (Ag), as defined by reactivity with a monoclonal antibody (mAb 10G), was found on the cell wall surface and on the plasma membrane of Candida albicans yeast cells (Li, R. K., and Cutler, J. E. (1991) J. Gen. Microbiol. 137, 455-464). The 10G Ag from the cell surface location was solubilized by treatment with beta-mercaptoethanol and Zymolyase. Antigenic activity of the extract was lo...
